HOUSTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department will send 309,000 barrels of crude oil from the nation's emergency stockpile to two refineries that are running short of supply due to hurricanes Gustav and Ike, the department said on Sunday.

ConocoPhillips' (COP.N) Wood River refinery in Illinois will get 200,000 barrels and Placid Oil's Port Allen refinery in Louisiana will get 109,000 barrels, and deliveries begin later on Sunday, the department said. (Reporting by Chris Baltimore; Editing by Bill Trott)
